  The Parallel effect plays multiple child effects at the same time.
  
  <p>You can create a Paralell effect in MXML,
  as the following example shows:</p>
   <pre>
  &lt;mx:Parallel id="WipeRightUp"&gt;
    &lt;mx:children&gt;
      &lt;mx:WipeRight duration="1000"/&gt;
      &lt;mx:WipeUp duration="1000"/&gt;
    &lt;/mx:children&gt;
  &lt;/mx:Parallel&gt;
  
  &lt;mx:VBox id="myBox" hideEffect="{WipeRightUp}" &gt;
    &lt;mx:TextArea id="aTextArea" text="hello"/&gt;
  &lt;/mx:VBox&gt;
  </pre>
   <p>Notice that the <code>&lt;mx:children&gt;</code> tag is optional.</p>
  
  <p>Starting a Parallel effect in ActionScript is usually
  a five-step process:</p>
   <ol>
    <li>Create instances of the effect objects to be composited together;
    for example: 
    <pre>myFadeEffect = new mx.effects.Fade(target);</pre></li>
    <li>Set properties, such as <code>duration</code>, on the individual effect objects.</li>
    <li>Create an instance of the Parallel effect object;  
    for example: 
    <pre>myParallelEffect = new mx.effects.Parallel();</pre></li>
    <li>Call the <code>addChild()</code> method for each of the effect objects;
    for example: 
    <pre>myParallelEffect.addChild(myFadeEffect);</pre></li>
    <li>Invoke the Parallel effect's <code>play()</code> method; 
    for example: 
    <pre>myParallelEffect.play();</pre></li>
  </ol>
